West Gate Tunnel Project - Mackenzie Road Interchange Bridges
The West Gate Tunnel Project involves the construction of twin tunnels under Yarraville to provide an alternative route to the West Gate Bridge. A major bridge over the Maribyrnong River connects the tunnels to a new elevated viaduct structure over…

West Gate Tunnel Project - Driven Precast Concrete Piles in Coode Island Silt
Driven precast concrete piles are the established value for money piling choice for a number of infrastructure projects in Australia. This paper looks at a large-scale application of precast driven concrete piles in a brownfield-site as part of West…
Bridges of the West Gate Tunnel Project
The West Gate Tunnel Project is one of Australia's largest infrastructure projects currently under construction and will give Melbourne an alternative to the West Gate Bridge. The scope includes: Two three-lane road tunnels, Widening of the West…
Modular Lightweight FRP Footbridges
Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) footbridges were investigated by British Rail in the early 1980's due to the benefits of lightweight construction. FRP bridge applications have continued to be developed for railway infrastructure in the UK, including…
Modular bridge expansion joints with integrated seismic fuse-elements
Bridges in seismically active regions must be designed and constructed with special considera- tion of how the structure will respond/perform during an earthquake and immediately afterwards. A key element in such considerations is the expansion…
Austroads Design and Construction Guidelines for the Delivery of Large Cantilever and Gantry Structures
Over recent years there have been a number of incidents of structural failures of sign and high mast lighting structures across Australia and New Zealand, primarily due to poor design and construction practices. In addition to the obvious…
Case Study: Sustainability in Bridge Engineering - SH2 Wairoa River Bridge Cycleway Extension
State Highway 2 Wairoa River Bridge near Tauranga, constructed in 1966, is a 177m long post-tensioned concrete structure with mono pier columns supported on pile foundations. Adding a lightweight downstream cycleway extension in September 2020 has…
Seismic Resilience, Sustainability, Accelerated Bridge Construction and Urban Design for the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway Bridges
The Peka Peka to Ōtaki (PP2O) Expressway is a 12km section of the new Kapiti Expressway, north of Wellington, New Zealand. The project includes nine road bridges, two underpasses, five pedestrian bridges and several large culverts. Innovative…
Curved steel trough girder bridges - Design for construction
Steel trough girders are an efficient form of structure for long-span curved bridges. Analysis and design of these structures need to incorporate the proposed construction sequence to ensure that the girders have sufficient capacity not only for the…
